Musnad Abi Ya'la 4896 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved sweets
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الرُّومِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ ، فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ، دَارَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فَيَدْنُو مِنْهُنَّ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، فَاحْتَبَسَ عِنْدَهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ يَحْتَبِسُ ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقِيلَ لِي : أَهْدَتْ لَهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهَا عُكَّةَ عَسَلٍ ، فَسَقَتِ النَّبِيَّ شَرْبَةً ، فَقُلْتُ : أَمَا وَاللهِ ، لَنَحْتَالَنَّ لَهُ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَوْدَةَ ، قُلْتُ : إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَدْنُو ، فَقُولِي لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ ؟ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ : سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ ، فَقُولِي لَهُ : جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ ، وَسَأَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، وَقُولِي أَنْتِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى سَوْدَةَ ، قَالَتْ : تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ : وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ، لَقَدْ ذَكَرْتُ أَنْ أُبَادِئَهُ بِالَّذِي قُلْتِ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى الْبَابِ فَرَقًا مِنْكِ .
فَلَمَّا دَنَا ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قُلْتُ : مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ ؟ قَالَ : سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ ، قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَسْقِيكَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهِ قَالَ : تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَقَدْ حَرَمْنَاهُ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : اسْكُتِي .
فَلَمَّا دَنَا ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، قُلْتُ : مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ ؟ قَالَ : سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ ، قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَسْقِيكَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهِ قَالَ : تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَقَدْ حَرَمْنَاهُ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : اسْكُتِي .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) loved sweets and honey, and it was the practice of him (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he had prayed the Asr prayer, he would go round to his pure wives and draw close to them. Once he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and stayed there longer than usual. I asked about it and was told that a woman of her people had given her a small skin of honey as a gift, so she had served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a drink of it. I said (to myself): By Allah! We will certainly devise some plan regarding this honey. So I mentioned it to Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said to her: When he (peace and blessings be upon him) comes to you and draws close to you, say to him: O Messenger of Allah! Have you eaten maghafir (a kind of foul-smelling gum)? He will say to you: 'Hafsah gave me a drink of honey.' Then say: Perhaps its bees fed on the urfut (a foul-smelling shrub). I too will say the same to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and you too, O Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), say the same. Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: 'Wallahi alladhi la ilaha illa huwa' (By Allah, besides whom there is none worthy of worship), out of awe of you, my state was such that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had only just reached the door, I wanted to say to him what you had told me. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) drew close to her, she said: O Messenger of Allah! Have you eaten maghafir? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'No.' She said: Then what is this smell? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Hafsah gave me a drink of honey.' She said: Then perhaps its bees fed on the urfut. Then when he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I too said something similar to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then when he went to Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), she too said the same. After that, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) again, she said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not give you that drink? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I have no need of it now.' Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) said (on seeing this): 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah), we have deprived him (peace and blessings be upon him) of this honey! So I (Aishah) said to her: Keep quiet for now."
